...merely have to reprove the Senate for letting the executive exceed his authority. But there are other examples of this kind of forced appropriation, and the appropriating power of Congress is in grave danger.

McClure, Judge B. B. Lindsey, Governor Louis B. Hanna of North Dakota, many another headliner of that era. Also aboard was a husky youngster of 21 who was neither...
...recently down & out, now all set to build warboats. The disgusted Daily Herald, after first severely warning its Labor readers that they will probably lose their shirts if they jump into the market now, tantalizingly explained that a nest egg of $2,500 invested one year ago in three ship-building and two aircraft stocks would today have become a tidy little fortune...
